Iain Banks Interviewed

Iain Banks

What advice would you give to new writers?
The Three Ps: practice, practice, practice. Writing is like everything else: the more you do it the better you get. Don’t try to perfect as you go along, just get to the end of the damn thing. Accept imperfections. Get it finished and then you can go back. If you try to polish every sentence there’s a chance you’ll never get past the first chapter.
